I suspect that there is a problem with the little wrapper program. If memory serves me right, most of the code was a command line parser that uses '/' to indicate an option is coming. Why not hack the parser to use '-' --- if you need the options at all, which I suspect you don't... Further, if you're correct and /foo/bar causes problems, then why not transform such paths to \foo\bar form before spawning lyx.exe? Angus
